The fair is very appropriate for British branch candidates whose qualifications and experience can be considered appropriate for teaching in either British-curriculum or IB international schools.
All applications for places at the London-January fair need to be made to Gez Hayden. Early application is important – best during October or November. Candidates who apply will only be invited to attend the London-January Fair if Gez Hayden considers that they match the needs of the recruiters attending the fair, and so stand a good chance of receiving at least one job offer.
All candidates need to be free to attend on all three days of the fair (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), and availability for interviews on the Monday of the fair, though not essential, is strongly recommended if possible; candidates should make their travel and accommodation arrangements with this in mind. It is absolutely essential for candidates to register for the fair on the opening Friday (ideally before 5.30 pm).
